ghost

Fang Xia saw the light-colored thin lips of the person standing at the window slightly opened, and spit out two words.The cold voice was similar to what he had imagined, but it was not what he heard through his ears, but appeared directly in his mind.This weird and unreasonable situation made Fang Xia's subsequent questioning words stuck in his throat.

The room fell into silence.

Fang Xia felt a little confused whether she was awake or in a dream.

He pinched his arm fiercely, and the result was that he twitched in pain—it was not a dream!

So what the hell was that just now?

Brain waves?Sound transmission into secret?Or aliens?

There were endless guesses in Fang Xia's mind, his eyes fixed on Fu Jin, and the expression on his face changed again and again.

"Fu Jin..." Fang Xia repeated the name in a low voice, the two words twirled on the tip of her tongue, inexplicably familiar, not like hearing it for the first time.

Fang Xia's memory is not bad, and he quickly remembered where he had heard this name - on the first day he came to Geng's house, Geng Wenqiu had mentioned this name to him.But isn't this name Yujue's?

Fang Xia lowered her head stiffly, glanced at the Jade Jue hanging on her chest, then raised her eyes to look at the man again, "Could you be... the Jade Jue spirit?"

Fang Xia himself felt that what he said was absurd. He didn't really believe in things that violated materialism, but the current weird situation forced him to guess in an unscientific direction.

[no. ] The other party denies it.

"Then, what are you?" This ability to speak in the human brain is impossible for normal human beings to do.

[The soul of the dead is commonly called a ghost by the world. ]

The man lowered his eyes, Fang Xia heard that cold voice resounding in his mind, and saw the curtains of the window being blown by the night wind, passing through the man's body lightly, like passing through a phantom, fluttering by itself , without any hindrance.If you look closely at your person, you really don't have half the popularity.

A coldness spread in the air, irritating the bare skin, and the chill penetrated into the bones, Fang Xia shivered, and his mind was in chaos.He has lived for 23 years, and has watched his master hold various superstitious activities for at least ten years. He has never seen a sneaky person with his own eyes, but tonight he not only saw it, but also chatted with him.

——Fang Xia's 23-year three views are broken vigorously.

But it is not important.

The important thing is that he was approached by ghosts in the middle of the night.

Hell, that's definitely not a good thing.

Fang Xia reached out and tugged at the bath towel around his waist, the muscles on his body were too tense, such a movement made him feel a little sore in his back.

"Then what...Although I've been an asshole for a while, at most I've fought and broken people's arms and legs. I've never done such outrageous things as murder and arson." Fang Xia licked the tip of her teeth and continued, " You have a wrongdoer and a debtor, go find the right person, ah!"

Fu Jin looked at him with dark eyes, staring at Fang Xia with chills all over his body.After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: [I am here only because you are my guardian. ]

"Wait! What guardian? When did I become a guardian?"

[Start when you get the jade ring. ]

"This Yu Jue is not the heir of the Geng family..." Fang Xia stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.

What exactly did the heirs of the Geng family inherit?Fang Xia vaguely understood.

The heir of the Geng family is responsible for keeping the white jade double dragon head ring, and holding this jade ring means becoming the guardian of a ghost. This is for him to help the Geng family guard a ghost!Day Oh!I have heard of people inheriting property, reputation, and jobs, but I haven't heard of people inheriting a ghost!In this way, Geng Wenqiu specially asked him, an illegitimate son, to come back as the heir, and he kept procrastinating on not telling him about the responsibilities of the heir of the Geng family, and the attitude of the current patriarch Geng Zhongzhi not objecting to him becoming the heir of the Geng family, these things made him puzzled That makes sense.After all, well, who would want to inherit a ghost?

Fang Xia felt that he had basically figured out all the doubts after coming to Geng's house, but there were still some strange things.

When Geng Wenqiu handed the jade into his hands, he did mention the name "Fu Jin". She knew of Fu Jin's existence, which meant that she had the ability to see ghosts.And Fang Xia, as a person who grew up in a Taoist temple, hadn't seen a ghost for so many years, but he suddenly saw it after coming to the Geng's house. It was hard for him to believe that it had nothing to do with the Geng's family.This Geng family's old house—or what exactly does the direct line of the Geng family do?

No, he has to go to the old lady Geng to find out!Regardless of whether the so-called time is ripe or not, he is damned, he must get a clear answer today!

Fang Xia raised his feet and ran towards the door of the bedroom. Before reaching the door, he tripped over the bath towel that fell from his crotch and staggered. His crooked body propped up at the end of the bed to stabilize himself.As soon as he raised his head, he met Fu Jin who was standing by the window.

The other party looked at him sitting sideways at the end of the bed naked, with a calm expression on his face.Fang Xia, whose face was always thicker than the city wall, felt that his face was on fire when Fu Jin looked at him like this, and somehow felt that he had lost face.Panic!Isn't it just hell?This ghost didn't want to show him what kind of posture, as for almost going out to run naked?

"Fuck!" With a low curse, Fang Xia quickly picked up the bath towel, covered his crotch, twisted and ran into the cloakroom next door.It took less than 2 minutes to put on clothes hastily before running out again.

Running out of her room, Fang Xia went to the opposite door to call out Wang Ke, and then dragged them to the front yard to find Geng Wenqiu.As soon as he entered the front yard, he met Uncle Tong who came out after hearing the noise. Uncle Tong was a little dissatisfied with Fang Xia's commotion in the middle of the night, and asked him to talk about it tomorrow if he had anything to do.But Fang Xia was determined to ask Geng Wenqiu to give an explanation tonight, and in the end Geng Wenqiu, who had gone to bed early, was still quarreled by him.

This time, Geng Wenqiu did not continue to avoid Fang Xia's question, but happily gave him the answer he wanted.

Fang Xia's guess was generally correct. The heir of the Geng family was indeed going to inherit a ghost, and it was also a fierce ghost passed down from his ancestors.One thing he thought was wrong. It's not that no one is willing to inherit this ghost. On the contrary, there are many people in the Geng family vying to inherit it, but they are not capable enough. In the end, in desperation, they agreed to let Fang Xia, an illegitimate son, take over. inherit.

The conversation took place in the study next to Geng Wenqiu's bedroom. Fang Xia and Geng Wenqiu sat face to face in a corner of the study. Geng Wenqiu who spoke slowly.Hearing this, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, his face was distorted, and he looked at Geng Wenqiu who was facing him in disbelief.A ghost—a thing that sounded dangerous, but it was actually the Geng family's scrambling to inherit it. I'm afraid it has something wrong with its brain?

"Ghost...will there be someone vying for the inheritance?" Fang Xia asked back.

"That's because the ancestors of the Geng family made their fortune from exorcising ghosts..." Geng Wenqiu took a sip of the hot tea in his hand and continued.

The ancestors of the Geng family first gained prestige in the circle by exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, and later they were honored as honored guests by some dignitaries.After several generations of hard work, it has developed into a certain scale, and passed down, it is now the company group managed by the branch of the Geng family.The offshoot of the Geng family is in charge of managing the company's property, while the lineage of the direct line still focuses on exorcising ghosts and evil spirits. But still have to listen to the direct line.

The scale of the Geng family's company can no longer be underestimated, but the convenience of leaving some powerful contacts, although the building will not collapse in an instant, is not worth the loss.This is the case of peaceful division of the family without offending the Geng family's direct lineage.If they offend the direct line, those dignitaries will become sharp knives against Gunn's company, and sooner or later they will be riddled with holes.The reason why the direct descendants of the Geng family are able to hold on to those powerful contacts is that their ability to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits is naturally extraordinary. They are top-notch experts in the mystical arts world, and they are called the four major families together with the Ren family, Gu family and Qi family.To have such a status, apart from the Geng family's own abilities, they also relied on Fu Jin, a thousand-year-old ghost passed down from their ancestors.The Geng family is famous for their ability to control ghosts. Apart from their own abilities, the rest depends on their ability to subdue ghosts, and Fu Jin's strength is enough to make the Geng family stand firm in the world of profound arts.Therefore, the head of the Geng family must be someone who can successfully inherit Fu Jin. This is a means to ensure that the family does not fall apart.Because of this, Fu Jin claimed that the Geng family was vying for inheritance, and who could not be tempted by the existence of being able to enter the direct line and control the lifeline of the Geng family?

"It's a pity that among the current Geng family, there is no one who has the ability to suppress Fu Jin's evil spirit." Geng Wenqiu sighed.

——That's why he reluctantly found his illegitimate son to come back.

"...I think you're totally fraudulent." Fang Xia twitched her lips, "If you say that becoming the heir of the Geng family means dealing with ghosts all day long and contributing to the Geng family's career, then I'm sorry. I can't play with trading. I'm just an ordinary person. I never thought of opening the door to a new world, let alone entering it for a swim. You should take this jade ring back. I will honestly go back and borrow usury. Compared to dealing with ghosts, I think I have more common language with usury debt collectors."

Fang Xia took off the jade ring hanging around her neck, put it on the coffee table, and pushed it in front of Geng Wenqiu.

"It's too late for you to regret it now." Geng Wenqiu didn't move the jade ring that was pushed in front of him, "This white jade double dragon head ring is Fu Jin's possession, and it is also the medium for making a contract with him. Since he is in front of you Showing up means that the contract has been completed. Until he finds the next guardian, he will follow you all the time, even if you return the jade ring to me, it will not help."

"When did I make a contract with him?" Fang Xia stood up and stared at Geng Wenqiu condescendingly, "Grandma Geng, stop fooling me."

"Is this jade jute stained with your blood? That's a contract."

"I..." Fang Xia just wanted to deny it, rubbed his fingers, but touched the unhealed wound on his thumb, and suddenly remembered the first day he had just got the jade ring.

At that time, he was holding the jade ring in the room to look at it, and he was dazed, and there was an inexplicably bleeding wound on his finger, and the blood was indeed stained on the jade ring at that time.If it was just an accidental injury and the blood was stained on it, Fang Xia could still suspect that Geng Wenqiu's blood-stained bond was a lie, but the wound came in an extremely strange way, without any sharp weapon at hand, and the jade ring in his hand was round and smooth without any gaps However, there was a not-so-shallow wound on his finger. The incision was flat and slender as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

Fang Xia believed more than half of Geng Wenqiu's words.It's just that this feeling of being designed makes people feel aggrieved.

"I know you're not happy, but it's best not to think about leaving." Geng Wenqiu said.

"So what if I leave? Do you still want to forcibly detain me?" Fang Xia put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyelids.He has never been a submissive person. Although he has reformed himself, he has reached the point of doing what others say, but he is not as surly as he was a few years ago.

"Since you have successfully formed a bond with Fu Jin, you have stepped into the gate of the mystic art world. Whether you like it or not, you cannot avoid dealing with evil ghosts. If you don't say anything else, just say Fu Jin, if you don't Learning the art of controlling ghosts is a very dangerous thing for you, if you are not careful, your life will be gone."

"So I have to stay in Geng's house to learn that damn ghost-controlling technique?" Fang Xia raised his voice.

"If you don't want to die." Geng Wenqiu said it calmly, as if he didn't care about Fang Xia's choice.

Fang Xia stared at her for a while, seeing that she didn't look like a liar at all, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and pulled out a distorted smile, then bent down and took the jade ring back, "This threat is fine, you are ready Sufficient. Okay, I’m afraid, I’ll learn, and I still want it.”

"Tomorrow I will ask Wang Ke to find someone from the clan to teach you." Geng Wenqiu said.

"Understood." Fang Xia angrily stuffed the jade into his pocket, and walked around the sofa.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at Geng Wenqiu, "By the way, there is one more thing, why can I see ghosts all of a sudden?"

Geng Wenqiu: "I opened your yin and yang eyes for you."

Fang Xia: "When?"

Geng Wenqiu: "Today I will enter the genealogy for you."

Fang Xia: "Rice wine?"

Geng Wenqiu acquiesced.

Fang Xia: No wonder he felt so uncomfortable when the old woman touched his forehead.

Walking out of the study, Fang Xia let out a long breath of foul air.What is this called?This is how the normal illegitimate child recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors?However, no matter how unhappy he was, Geng Wenqiu had calculated it long ago, blocking the road, so he couldn't escape.Fang Xia can only comfort himself, at least Master's medical expenses are fine, at least the heirloom of the Geng family fell into his hands...

family heirloom……

Thinking of this, Fang Xia's footsteps involuntarily became heavy. Remembering that the Geng family's ancestral ghost was still in his room, he didn't want to go back to sleep at all.
